For Parents

Parent Education

Researchers have evidence for the positive effects of parent involvement on children, families, and school when schools and parents continuously support and encourage the children’s learning and development. According to research, the most accurate predictor of a student’s achievement in school is not income or social status but the extent to which that student’s family is able to:

Create a home environment that encourages learning

Express high (but not unrealistic) expectations for their children’s achievement and future careers

Become involved in their children’s education at school and in the community
